We are passionate about education and technology. Those aren’t just buzzwords, they are a part of our DNA.
Our team of designers, engineers, and evangelists understand the complex problems colleges and universities face. We work everyday to build a bridge between what students want out of a social network and what institutions need to meet their enrollment and retention goals.
Although our coding and design process may be complex, our equation is simple:
Social networks + student engagement = student success
With partnerships at more than 85 universities across the U.S. and Canada, we’ve been pioneering how colleges build student community to improve student success.
